HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Thanks to the magic of ebay I have managed to land myself a 115 US gallon vivarium for my future little crabby friends! it's 23"L x 24"W x 48"H and I am planning on putting in a second level. So once I've picked it up this week I will start bugging everyone again for advice on setting it up! Super e...

Turns out the other supplier is PP's too. Do you think 3 is a okay number for a ten gallon if they're relatively small at the moment? I would prefer to upgrade my tank once I move so I can get a bigger one than I have space for now.Have a healthy budget for my start up so can always up size twice I ...

Happy belated Birthday for the 17th! Mine was the 24th! Sorry to hear of your losses... Always sad to lose a loved one, what ever the breed. ***

Ok, so have discovered my tank is a 10 gallon. Have also found another british supplier. Have emailed to confirm the breeds they have in stock, no reply yet but by the looks of the photo (if it isnt just a generic one) my novice eyes think it's a Straw.Even though I really want Straws, I'm not convi...

That's awesome. Loving those 3D printer things!

Hi all, thanks for advice. Sorry lost the thread for a while and still learning how to navigate the forum. We've checked persistently for ticks and fleas and still come up with nothing. He has frontline and isn't due for the next one till sept. Without being able to ask his owners exactly when the l...

Wow. Cheers for that. Shall have to locate my tape measure... I shall let you know how I get on!

Thanks again for your comments, I have done alot more looking into PP's and will be very chuffed once I finally get them!Finish up house-sitting tommorrow then after a spot of camping for my Birthday I will finally get home to set up my crabitat. Have yet to buy any accessories, is there any thing i...

ThankQ all for your comments. Very reassuring. I am now looking forward to having PP's! I'm house sitting at the moment, so have still not been able to get home to set up my crabitat! Am super excited about it though! I will keep you all posted on the progress, I feel I may have many more questions ...

Are they just as fun? I read somewhere (god knows where as have been reading too many sites!) that they are a bit "boring", can't be handled and aren't very active. Though I am learning quickly through this forum not to trust much that I've read else where. LOL. x

Mine is August 24th . I am getting my first Hermies as my B-Day pressie from my lovely bf.

I collect frogs, have done since I was a littlun. I so will be adding some to the decor of my crabitat when it's up and running! Used to have 4 European Tree frogs. Two blue and Two green. They were wicked! x

I saw a fresh water eel in a little stream in Leeds Castle on monday. It is indeed possible.

I'm housesitting at the moment and we're looking after a Border Collie along with the house (plus 4 cats, 5 chickens, and 13 sheep. lol) He keeps chewing on his fur, or biting it out almost. Have checked for fleas and ticks and cant see any at all. Do you think he's missing his owners or stressed ou...

Have finally found a supplier of PP's. Wasn't exactly what I was looking for but I'm sure they're just as cute! Has anyone got PP's?
